CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — West Virginia’s season ended with coach Neal Brown getting mayonnaise dumped over his head after a victory in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

Garrett Greene threw for 204 yards and a touchdown, Beanie Bishop Jr. returned a punt 78 yards for a score and West Virginia closed a season with a 30-10 victory over North Carolina on Wednesday night.

Traylon Ray had a 75-yard touchdown reception on the first play from scrimmage for the Mountaineers, who won their final three games to finish 9-4.

Greene completed 11 of 22 passes and also ran for 75 yards. Jahiem White ran for 50 yards and a touchdown for West Virginia, and Ray finished with three catches for a 91 yards.

North Carolina (8-5) played without star quarterback Drake Maye and top wide receiver Tez Walker, who opted out of the game to begin preparing for the NFL draft.

Conner Harrell made his first college start for North Carolina, completing 18 of 27 passes for 199 yards, with a 16-yard touchdown to J.J. Jones. Harrell ran for 37 yards, but was sacked seven times and threw two interceptions — one in the end zone.

Despite the game being played about a two-hour drive from North Carolina’s Chapel Hill campus, it was a predominantly West Virginia crowd.

And the Mountaineers fans watched their team get off to a great start as Greene hooked up with a Ray on a 75-yard bomb on the first play from scrimmage. Greene said that one of two starting plays the team had considered in pre-game planning.

West Virginia, which entered the game fourth in the nation rushing at 234.4 yards per game, couldn’t muster much on offense after that in the first half. But their special teams provided a huge lift as Bishop fielded a punt, make a tackler miss and crossed the field en route to a 78-yard return to help build a 17-10 halftime lead.

Bishop had returned kickoffs before, but never a punt.

“He outkicked his coverage,” Bishop said. “I made one or two guys miss and off to the races.”

The Mountaineers finally got their running game going in the fourth quarter when Greene broke the pocket for a 48-yard scamper and White scored on an 11-yard burst to extend the lead to 27-10. Michael Hayes made it a 30-10 with eight minutes left on his third field goal of the game.
